Greg Smith played 23 minutes in a start for Tyson Chandler on Wednesday with four points, one assist and one block.

There's no indication that Chandler will need to miss time after the break, so Smith will likely move back into the background. Additionally, the Mavericks are using Dirk Nowitzki more at center, so Smith is no lock for any minutes at all. Bernard James also played 22 minutes with nine points, three rebounds and three blocks.

Greg Smith will start against the Jazz on Wednesday.

Tyson Chandler is not in the lineup and it's tough to tell how many minutes Smith will get tonight. He did only play nine minutes on Monday and will likely be in the teens tonight. Charlie Villanueva and Al-Farouq Aminu are likely the better plays tonight. Feb 11 - 8:22 PM

Greg Smith scored one point in a start for Tyson Chandler (ankle) on Wednesday with five boards and one block in 17 minutes.

Because of the Brandan Wright trade, Smith is Tyson Chandler's backup. He's not much of a scorer and is more of a banger on the glass, so he is going to need a lot of things to happen in order to have fantasy value in even extremely deep leagues. Jan 14 - 11:35 PM

Greg Smith (side) returned to action with 16 minutes during a 96-88 overtime win at Brooklyn on Monday, scoring five points with three rebounds, one assist and one block.

He is Tyson Chandler's backup, but won't play more than 20 minutes most nights. Smith has very little fantasy value. Jan 6 - 12:21 AM

As part of Mark Cuban's pitch to Wesley Matthews during free agency, Cuban told Matthews that he wanted him to be a cornerstone piece for the franchise.

"One of the first things he said to me was he wanted me to be a cornerstone piece of that franchise moving forward," Matthews said. "I told Cuban this the other day: This is the first time, head-to-toe, that an organization has had faith and confidence in me. From coaches, to GM to owner — complete confidence. That's all I wanted. That's all I wanted." It's clear that the Mavericks view Matthews highly, and it definitely was interesting to learn that the Blazers never even attempted to re-sign him. Matthews is hoping to be ready for training camp, but his Achilles injury will make him a risky selection on draft day.

Chandler Parsons (knee) will be attending Team USA's minicamp in Vegas, but he will not be participating.

He will be joining Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant and Kevin Love on the sidelines, as he is still recovering from knee surgery. Parsons will have a much larger role in the Dallas offense with Rajon Rondo and Monta Ellis out of town, so he should be a solid mid-round pick in fantasy drafts this season. Parsons' knee should be good to go for the start of the season, although Dallas has been quiet on their end regarding his status.
